Glasgow vs Edinburgh
Scotland's two biggest cities both have strong padel scenes, but they look a bit different.
| Glasgow | Edinburgh | |
|---|---|---|
| Clubs | 6 | 7 |
| Total courts | 20 | 15+ |
| Average price | ~£29/hr | ~£22/hr |
Glasgow has more courts but Edinburgh edges it on club count and average price. Edinburgh's lower average is partly driven by budget outdoor venues that bring down the overall figure. Glasgow's courts tend to sit in a tighter, slightly higher price band.
If you play in both cities, Playskan covers Edinburgh and Glasgow — same search, different city.
